I will confess, this is not a craft related blog post, but it's my blog so ner ner ne ner ner! Earlier this month I turned 28 years young and I have been doing a lot of thinking about various issues and paths etc. Inspired by a former colleagues blog "Rhi's 30 before 30" (she has 11 months), I have come up with a list of thirty things I would like to try and achieve before I hit the big 3 0.

Starting today, September 1st, I have exactly 23 months to see what I can achieve. Ok, some of these are going to be a challenge, one more than any of the others, and some will be fairly easy but nothing on the list so far is anything I already have planned. I will blog about them on this blog so you can learn a little more about me!

So here goes in no particular order:

Own a sewing machine,

Learn to knit socks,

Visit Buckingham Palace,

Swim in a lake or stand under a waterfall,

Own a home (the BIG challenge),

Be debt free except from a mortgage if Num 5 happens,

Visit Dickens House,

Go to a soap making workshop,

Learn to hang wall paper,

Spend a night on the Norfolk Broads,

Learn to make pastry,

Learn the succession of kings and queens from William the Conqueror in 1066,

Make and wear my own dress,

Read 5 books from my bookshelf - I currently own 40 books that I have not yet read.

Have a make up lesson,

Do something every day to make me smile,

Learn to change a car tyre,

Be able to jog a mile with out stopping - with my leg issues this is a BIG thing,
